Chevrolet has halted sales of a certain beloved American sports car.
The brand issues at stop-sale notice for its C8 Corvette, as a result of a technical problem that is affecting the car’s brake lights, Motor1.com reported. The glitch means that drivers in the seat of a 2024 or 2025 ‘Vette wouldn’t realize if their turn signals’ light bulbs failed to turn on.
It may seem like a small issue, but in additional to compromising turning and breaking, it means the car fails to comply with federal safety regulations. The malfunction with the on-the-nose Rear Brake Light Outage Detection system, which wouldn’t alert you if the break light goes dim, has impacted around 3,300 Corvettes. More than 400 of those cars are the 2025 model, while the others are the 2026 iteration. Chevrolet has managed to fix the issue for the latter model via a software update, according to Motor1.com, while the problem is still ongoing with the 2025 C8 ‘Vette.
This isn’t the first safety issue the Corvette has encountered of late. In 2025, the marque recalled Z06 models from 2023 to 2025 and ZR1s from the same years dealt with a fuel-spillage problem that increased the risk of a fire. We expect the American automaker to resolve this latest issue sooner rather than later; you can keep an eye on updates for your car at GM’s recall center.
This latest news comes on the heels of Chevrolet’s announcement that the new Corvette Grand Sport will be the final C8 variant. The move, which appeared in a YouTube video posted by the brand last week, signals an end to the current generation of the car—which is going out with a bang. For 2027, the base model of the Grand Sport will deliver 535 hp and 520 ft lbs of torque via an enlarged 6.7-liter V-8. Its sibling, the Grand Sport X, ups the ante with an electrical motor that makes 721 hp and 660 ft lbs of torque.
